In what way does your game fit the theme?
The primary mechanic of the game is that the player must attempt to shoot and destroy invading enemies. However this can only be done if the projectile that they fire is in a "rewinding" state (initiated when pressing the space bar). This means that the player has to strategically plan all of their shots so that when they make the projectile rewind, it will destroy enemies.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

really enjoyed playing the game. just adding some more powerups or guns or something would make it better. and maybe different type of enemies maybe one that's jiggling around or something
Things I loved about the game

I love your game especially because it has alot of similarities with my own game but your game is different in the fact it has much more polishing done and particle system looks on point. It is very satisfying to play and I will come back time and again to get the high score as it appeals to my competitive nature. Add me on discord btw " invalid#8392 "
Hey, thank you so much for your feedback, really glad you enjoyed playing.
Nice arcade-y shooter with the premise on rewinding. An idea would be to make the game flow better, and for that, my idea would be it auto-rewinds every time you click to keep that flow moving. Also be sure to at least through some time of starry background to the game! Even random white spots would have been good. Great game in a week, otherwise!
Thank you for your feedback and for checking it out, definitely agree with on the points you raised and will definitely update it accordingly post-jam
Had fun playing this, it would make a fun arcade game especially with the high scores. I do think if the transition between shooting and rewinding was a bit smoother it would be even more enjoyable.
Simple and fun. Challenging as you progress. Good submission!!
Maybe some power ups that make your ball bigger, or bombs in the level that explode nearby enemies would be nice for the player. Scored 312 in my first play.
Managed to get a score of 312! Felt really satisfying when multiple enemies lined up and I killed all of them! Maybe in a post jam version you could add different gun types! like a shotgun that shoots 3 pellets than can rewind back! Great work!
Great idea! Will definitely implement something like that in the future.
Exactly the same score here 🤣
I really liked the lights and the arcade vibe. Congrats for the fun game!

If there was more progression would be better.But still super noice game
